Wannan da gaske yana rufe duk daidaitaccen ma'aunin pH:

• Halin Tsaro: The chemically inert nature of the polyethylene molecule means it does not react with strong acids (like Sulfuric Acid) or strong bases (like Sodium Hydroxide) under normal ambient conditions.
• The Molecular Reason: HDPE performs so well because it lacks "functional groups" in its molecular chain. Functional groups (like esters or amides found in other plastics) are the "hooks" that acids and bases grab onto to break down a material. HDPE is composed of stable Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Hydrogen bonds, which offer the attacking fluid no easy entry point.

However, a crucial disclaimer must accompany this data:
"pH resistance" is not an absolute constant; it is a variable function of zafin jiki.
Layin da ke tsayayya da pH 1 (karfin acid) daidai a 25 ° C na iya nuna alamun raguwar antioxidant ko laushi idan zafin jiki ya tashi zuwa 60 ° C ko 80 ° C.

In these environments, the geomembrane is subjected to potential "acid hydrolysis." Yayin da polyethylene ba shi da kariya ga hydrolysis, sauran nau'ikan layi (kamar wasu polyesters ko GCLs ta amfani da bentonite ba tare da magani ba) na iya yin kasawa da sauri.

For TSFs, the challenge isn't usually an extreme pH "shock," amma maimakon haka tsawon lokaci. Tailings facilities are often permanent. The liner must remain intact essentially forever to prevent groundwater contamination. The "Neutral" kewayon pH gabaɗaya shine mafi aminci ga HDPE, yana ba da izinin tsawon rayuwar da aka yi hasashe sama da shekaru 100+.
